John James Audubon (After)

Hand-colored etching, engraving and aquatint, by R. Havell, on paper with the watermark J. Whatman 1838, with margins, in good condition except sheet edges trimmed, scattered foxing on the verso, framed

The print is in good condition overall and the colors are very bright. It appears that the fox marks on the reverse have been minimized through conservation, a few show through to the recto primarily in the margins. The sheet has been shaved.
